My Easter

My Easter long weekend was great, but like many times, I forgot to take photos of  a lot of it to share with you guys. (Doup!) I am trying to get better I swear :P

Thursday night, we went to my roomie's birthday at Bungalow 8 for a few too many drinks and a late night BBQ sausage. It was a fun night with our close friends, which started and ended nice and early (and intoxicated).

Good Friday was the day we had the first party at our new apartment- our House Warming.

I woke up early to do the final cleaning and food prep for the BBQ. We bought waaayy too much for the BBQ, I thought that at the time of buying it and cooking it and now when I look at all the left overs in our fridge, but I guess it is better to have too much then not enough right?

I made a baked potato bar with lots of yummy topping options like chives, pineapple, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream with sweet chili and corn. I thought the potatoes were delicious. Unfortunately, only myself and my bestie tried them, while everyone else chomped on the Nam Noung (i'm not sure if I have spelt that right, but basically it is the most delicious marinated pork kebab/sausage sort of thing).

Despite my potatoes going uneaten, it was a GREAT party! We spent the day in the sun, down by the pool, eating nibbles and hunting for Easter eggs. When the sun went down we moved everything and everyone upstairs for some jello shots and some moves on my pole. The pole got a MASSIVE workout by the way. We couldn't have asked for the party to go any better, but I did wish I had a maid the next morning when I saw the state our place was left in :(

Luckily, I didn't have to stay in our messy apartment, as I made an early morning getaway to my mum's house for another BBQ and a day of betting on the Golden Slipper. It was fun hanging out with my mum, brother and dog Bobby, but it would have been even more fun if my horses decided to win! :P

Sunday was our lazy day spent watching countless movies and being looked after by A and my roommate, as I nursed a sore belly.

On Monday, I was back in action and off to the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I like the show and I always have fun, but I don't love it anywhere near as much as A does!! He lights up like a little kid and went to the show armed  with a "show bag shortlist" and all. It did turn out to be a great day, but damn was I tired by the end of it. I passed out at like 9.30pm and I am still tired today!!

Plus side is, I remembered to take photos...

Weigh in Wednesday!

I know I had told you all last week that I felt like I had gotten my mojo back and I truly did.

The next day however, the monthly visitor came. For me, the monthly visitor means being up all night heating a wheat pack every 15 minutes to help my stomach cramps and back pains. The very next day I could not work out :(

Thankfully, I didn't act like my recent (before mojo coming back) self and take this as a great excuse to right off the week , not workout and eat chocolate like I wanted too!

I went straight back to the gym the day after and on Saturday when I was hungover I went to Subway not the Kebab place, Ogalos or McDonalds, which are all located underneath our building.

I was proud of myself and excited to jump on the scales this morning.....

but first I had one final run (my version of last chance training)

I was singing Gangsta's Paradise out loud while taking this photo...
I'm 23 yeah but will I ever see 24? The way things are going I dunno.

and BAM!!!! 700GRAMS LOST!!

Am I happy with this? hells yeahhhh! I don't care how little the loss is, as long as it is a loss then my weight is going in the right direction DOWWWNNN!!

Since I have started back on 12WBT it has looked a little like this...

Week 6 - 300grams down
Week 7 - 500grams down
Week 8 - 700grams down

Total = 1.5kgs.

I am not complaining.

I just wish it wasn't Easter this weekend. This weekend we have our house warming party on Friday, family BBQ Saturday and the Easter show on Sunday.

Any tips for me on how to NOT hinder my weight loss this weekend??
